FOR all you Duct tapers, loc titers and so on.....

[magman007]

Well, for all of you who praise duct tape and loc tite(me!) i found another really great product. I found out about it listening to car talk. Well the product is JB Weld. This stuff is good!

The car Talk guys reccomended it to this person to fix his cracked engine block! and apparently it worked!


I just used it to fix my e-mag, if you dont remember there was a bad problem with the triggerframe, well, its fixed now!


This stuff is great. I reccomend it to all of you to go out and carry some with you in your tool box.

[SlipknotX556]

I used that to put the magnet back on the top of my emag trigger, great stuff.

[personman]

Yeah jb weld is cool thats the stuff where you mix the like grey stuff and black stuff in diffrent tubes togerther right? Yeah I used that on something... I forgot what it was..

Yeah epoxy is cool too

[p8ntballa]

Yep, I use it to keep my foamies on :D

[Remington]

Is it easy to take off? Like loc-tite and duct tape?

[misfit]

it is negitave easy to take off. it is an epoxy that when hardens is machineable, like you can grind it, drill, it tap it. it is not for sealing threads.

[magman007]

yes, should have stated that, this stuff is a steel epoxy. as i said, a guy fixed his engine block with it. i deffinitely trust it. I think everyone should have some. its dang good stuff

[FactsOfLife]

I despise JB Weld. I loathe JB Weld. JB Weld to me is basically grey poop in a tube...


'course I actually know how to weld....


My one and only experience with JB Poop in a tube, was on a boat I owned. A prior owner had used it to attach the trailer winch to the trailer. Never mind that the boat weighed 4500 pounds. Or that that particular trailer was galvanized. Or that the entire operating load was across the direction of attachment. Or that man invented a fastening device known as a BOLT....

[magman007]

but facts, how long did it last? ???? i mean, when it comes to normal welding, id rather have that done, but can you weld my trigger frame? i wouldnt want you to, beause you would melt the hole i fixed bigger! this stuff is really nice, i mean, what other experiences have you had with it? how were they bad?

[BlackVCG]

If I can't actually weld it, then I buy the part. JB Weld has yet to actually work on something that I needed fixed. Maybe the stuff I use it on is too small or it just doesn't like me, but I'd use it about as often as teflon tape on high pressure fittings (which is never).

[FactsOfLife]

it's devil goop I tell you...


it took me one good hit with a hammer to remove the offending winch.

I won't use it for anything. I'd rather fix something properly than do a halfassed job with some product marketed by bezelbub.

for your trigger, I probably WOULD weld it properly and remachine the hole on a mill.

I know not everyone has access to those kinds of tools, but this is just me.

devil goop I tell you... devil goop...

[magman007]

hahaha black, that tefflon tape refference was great! please tell me how it hasnt worked? what hasnt it done? like, what stuff have you tried to bond? so far i have bonded the spacer for the drop on my e-mag, and im currently letting the bond set for my magnet thingie, hopefuly it will work (thanks for worring me black....)



edit: facts, sorry for sounding like a jerk, i didnt know you could weld something that small, made out of aluminum. you see, my problem was that after annodizing, the acids to clean it off weakened the part where the magnets sit above, and that completely punched out. SO my father sent me small aluminum disks, of various sizes, and i found the right side, jb welded wedged in, and it is bonding now, i just wish i had a way to heep pressure on it for 24 hours. the lack of pressure worried me as it may not set correctly, and the problem may happen to the next buyer, (soon hopefully as i can get mopre down in chile for it than i can USA)

no offense given, none taken bud.:D

If it was that bad, and this is just me talking, I probably would have machined a whole new part if I couldn't weld it properly.

If it's a NON load bearing piece, like a trigger frame, I may have tried some kind of chemical bond to fix it. Especially if I didn't have access to a machining center.

[magman007]

hmmm a chemical bond? you know.... something like jb weld??? lol but serrioulsly, if there is something, better, more reliable that i have acess to, tell me now before the jb weld fully sets

thats only because no one likes you, or anything for that matter :)

[cris8762]

i listen to it every sunday, and NPR in the mornings on the way to school.......so you heard the car talk about the guy that completely submerged the front of his car? and the lady that wanted to drive cros country in a subaro wrx with like 120,000 miles on it to tow a sailboat and a wine collection back to michigan from cali? lol....some people and their cars:rolleyes: :D

:cool: LOL, This has got to be the best one liner I have ever read on AO!

There is a really good use that is going to be needed when we get the Xtremes. Mix a little bit up and take a toothpick and put some on the top, inside of the barrel. Let dry by turning JB in the barrel so that it is now on the bottom so that it will flatten out. It can be cut with an exacto knife if needed to get the desired thickness. This will make it possible to shoot smaller balls. I have used it on my cocker and shot at least 10 cases and it is still there.

[magman007]

WHAT? i am not, i repeat not putting jb weld on any where near my extreme! If i want to shoot smaller balls, im just guna use a small bore barrel! or use a freak with a small insert!

[riooso]

Get over it madman. I am talking about having a difference of about 2 thousands of an inch. With the Xtreme you do not have a ball detent. Feaks are ok but definately not the same as a stainless Dye or JT.

yes... you do


also, how can you determine if freaks are worse than dye stainlesses and the jt 2 pieces? i have owned a freak before, but i curently do not own one. If i were to use a barrel that was one piece, instead of a freak, it would be cp barrels all the way, i have one now on the e-mag and i love it!


edit: removed sig

[riooso]

I'm sorry I did not know that an Xtreme, which uses and autococker barrel, had a detent like we mag owners are use to. That is good! I stand corrected.


R

[magman007]

lol its ok, but doesnt your cocker have a detent? or is it a very old cocker before they ,ade detents? the one on the extreme is alot like the detentd on cockers and angels, sorry if i sounded like a jerk

[hubadlatimmy]

Thats good stuff. I used it to attach me hopper to it's feedneck after I ripped it clean off the gun in the middle of a game.

[riooso]

Hey no problem MM. You know now that you brought it up how does a ball get fed into the barrel? In a cocker since it is a closed bolt a small detent made with JB plactical. By the way you are right about the barrel thing also but CP makes the JT barrel if I am not mistaken. It has been my experience that stainless barrels are superior to aluminum barrel on a number of points a couple being that they will not wear out like aluminum barrels and they have the ability to shoot paint that is a bit tight and not break balls.

R

[hubadlatimmy]

cp doesn't make JT barrels. Jt makes JT barrels.

In any experience I have had with aluminum or stainless steel, aluminum shoots well but the steel is just a tab bit better not by much though. Those SS barrels are pigs though they weigh to much.

[mag-nanamus]

I'm sorry to revert to the original subject, but I caught this thread late. I love the practicallity and versatility of JB Weld. Not only has it exceeded my expectations (none of which involve a winch)but I have actually made parts out of JB Weld.
